Cultural Humility: A Pathway To Empathy
Wednesday, June 26, 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET
In this webinar, Clarice James, founder and Executive Director of M.I.R.A. Resources, will lead a discussion on leading with cultural humility and empathy when teaching and engaging with Refugee students and their families. Cultural humility is a reflection practice that takes into consideration the ways in which one’s own cultural lens and the cultural lenses of others may impact how we interact, teach, and learn. Cultural humility can create belonging in schools and communities.
Clarice James has been working with and advocating for Refugee, Migrant, Immigrant and Asylee families for over 7 years. Her program, M.I.R.A. Resources, operates to equip families of different ethnicities and cultures with the equitable resources to succeed upon entering a new community.
